Conjecture on frieze counts for exceptional Dynkin types

A frieze of a Dynkin type assigns values to the nodes of its Dynkin diagram. A unitary frieze is obtained by evaluating all cluster variables in a given cluster at 11.

Frieze-count conjecture. The numbers of friezes of types E6E_6, E7E_7, E8E_8 and F4F_4 are 868868, 44004400, 2659226592 and 112112, respectively.

These counts concern the sporadic Dynkin types not covered by the preceding general formulas for types AA, BB, CC, DD and GG. The paper describes an algorithm for enumerating these friezes, based on a separate conjectural bound for frieze values.
